This expansive solar walkway shade structure, located at an automotive manufacturing facility in Indiana, features more than 300 panels, spans a lengthy 648 linear feet, and is now in the running for one of the longest solar walkway canopies in the United States! Capable of generating over 175 kW of clean energy, this system is already making a significant impact on the facility’s renewable energy footprint. Not only does it provide shade and shelter to the employees and their lanes of travel, but it also demonstrates the company’s ongoing commitment to investing in green energy sources.
One of the biggest challenges we faced during the construction phase was ensuring the facility’s daily operations, the parking lot, and overall employee workflow remained unaffected. Rather than tear up the entire parking lot, our team decided to adopt a more strategic approach to working around the existing infrastructure, guard rails, and underground utilities. After digging in carefully measured points in select areas of the parking lot, we were able to pour the foundations and assemble the rest of the system without causing disruptions or delays. This approach exemplifies our knowledge and expertise in managing large-scale solar projects and showcases our ability to bring solar structures to life even in the most complex environments.
The walkway shade structure from Solar Mounts LLC is comprised of 3 main components that make installation faster and easier than ever before. The modular, bolt-together design allows for a streamlined process that eliminates the need for welding in the field, reduces deployment times, and cuts down on labor costs without sacrificing quality or performance. All of the steel and materials used in our solar racking systems and mounting components are 100% sourced and custom made in the USA. In doing so, we take the steps to ensure a reliable, high-quality product while also promoting energy independence and reducing carbon emissions.
This solar racking system is just one of the many innovations that can help shape a more sustainable future for everyone and we were proud to have a hand in bringing it to life!
